The homogeneous in-plane distortion of Ag2Mo2O7 leads to d-band center optimization and the spatial and energy overlap of Ag dxz and O2 anti-bonding π* orbitals, achieving highly efficient catalytic activity and rapid ORR/OER kinetics with an ultralong cycle life of 817 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g‒1 in LOBs. Abstract Although...

Ternary metal sulfides (TMSs) show potential as electrode materials for rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors (SCs). However, their real-world application faces challenges. This review discusses strategies for enhancing electrochemical activity through tailored nanostructures, backed by a comprehensive literature survey of recent advancements....

By sequential deposition of using poor solvent to treat bottom polymer donor layer, an outstanding figure-of-merit-X (low-cost and thick-film) organic solar cell is realized. The underlying mechanism is carefully characterized as a interpenetrating and vertical stratified donor–acceptor structure, where donor layer's thickness is the key factor. ...

An Al-based reducing agent lithium tri-tert-butoxy hydridoaluminate (LTBA) proposed as an electrolyte additive forms in-situ an Al-rich surface layer on Ni-rich layered oxides. This protective layer reduces interfacial reactivity and improve stability, resulting in ≈90% capacity retention after 240 cycles (vs Li4Ti5O12) compared to only 68% without...

This article starts with the advantages and disadvantages of all-solid-state battery electrolyte cathode materials and summarizes the advantages and challenges of single-crystal cathodes in solving all-solid-state battery interface problems. The impact of single-crystal cathode morphology on the design of high-performance all-solid-state batteries...

This is the first time to report the relationship between mixed entropy and ion transport in electrolytes with different mixed entropy. Combining thermodynamic mixed entropy with ion transport kinetics and applying the atomic-level microstructure entropy concept in solid electrolyte design provides new insights into the design and development of solid-state...
